Where is the center of the steering wheel aligned to?
1 Answers
The position aligned to the center of the steering wheel can be determined by using the angle between the car's A-pillar and the lower edge of the windshield. Below is some related information about the steering tie rod: 1. Steering Tie Rod The steering tie rod is an important component in the car's steering mechanism, directly affecting the vehicle's handling stability, operational safety, and tire lifespan. Steering tie rods are divided into two types: the steering drag link and the steering tie rod. The steering drag link is responsible for transmitting the motion from the steering arm to the steering knuckle arm; the steering tie rod serves as the base of the steering trapezoidal mechanism and is a key component ensuring the correct motion relationship between the left and right steering wheels. 2. Tie Rod Ball Joint The tie rod ball joint is a rod with a ball joint housing. The ball joint of the steering spindle is placed inside the ball joint housing, and the ball joint is hinged with the edge of the shaft hole of the ball joint housing through the ball seat at its front end. The roller pins between the ball seat and the steering spindle are embedded in the groove of the ball seat's inner hole surface, which helps reduce ball joint wear and improves the spindle's tensile resistance, among other features.
